Dave
DESCRIPTION:
Way back in 2014 there came a pitch for a Resident Evil TV series - something that, very disturbingly for the massive RE geek that I am, I managed to miss. Due to be titled "Arklay" (after Resident Evil's infamous Arklay Mountain region) and cast as a sort-of supernatural, detective, conspiracy, X-Files crime-thriller, the series was said to be in early development but already had a carefully thought-out plot. However, with no new information for over three years, it became clear that the promising show had fallen into the quagmire of development hell, never to be heard of again. This week though, Arklay's creator, Shawn Lebert, released a proof-of-concept short film on Vimeo video, entitled Dave. Mentioning neither "Resident Evil" or "Arklay", probably for legal reasons, it could be that the original series script has been entirely re-worked. Whatever the case, I passionately hope that this amazing ten minute view of what could-have-been, breathes new life into a series everyone considered dead.
